Finally Made the Connection... - Iowa

I began using Bio Oil a few days ago (3 weeks post op) and I have to say that things look much better finally. It makes a huge difference, I am actually starting to think my boobs are going to look normal again.

P.S. my dr removed 360 gm's from one and 380 gm's from the other, it all has to do with the Schnur scale formula.....500 gm's or more is just a basic guideline.

The best way to get this answered is to call your company. I had all of the criteria for my insurance (BCBS of Ill) and accurate documentation and still contacted my insurance company to get my questions answered. My approval came within 2 weeks and my surgery came 1 week later. Many blessings as you proceed!!

Thank you michmom65. I had my first post-op today and the PS removed the drain.....Praise God, I did not feel a thing!! In about 3 months I will be going back in for more surgery, he removed all the tissue that he could without risking blood loss to the nipples, and that created alot of excess skin underneath the aereola. He will go in and remove this skin which will cause my breasts to be more lifted. I'm not sure why he didn't do this in the first place, may have something to do with the Wise pattern that he uses? He assured us that we would not incur further expenses due to this, he has a full surgical center within his office and he will perform the surgery under local anethesia. Inspite of the reality of yet another surgery, I will be very happy to have "prettier" breasts.

Had my surgery one week ago almost to the minute. Everything was easy breezy, until about 7:30pm that evening. I was wheeled back to the OR for emergency surgery on my right breast after something within broke loose and caused a massive hematoma. It was absolutely horrific and has made my recovery very difficult in terms of strenght. And to top it all off, I am not in love with my new boobies. I know everyone's look horrible afterwards, but I have seen no after pictures that look anything like mine. My nipples are up higher, but the PS left ALOT of breast tissue underneath (he mentioned I may have to go back in and have more removed...easy for him to say, my insurance will not cover a revision that is based on appearance)so I may be smaller and in less pain but it will take a lot of emotional healing to overcome looking like this. I have my first post op today at 3:45 and he will remove the drain he had to place within my right breast after the second surgery...not looking forward to feeling that but can't wait to have this drain removed. Sorry for not being more present on here, I wanted to wait until I could explain this without being too negative. I know that time makes a difference, and I have faith that in the end I will be happy with my decision to have this done. Thanks for all the follow up Holly in PA, I felt everyone's prayers for me the day of surgery and it has made a world of difference in my emotions.
